fix: various AI bits, especially in VQ3

fix: an insanely pathological case to do with traces near patches

add: the "superhud" begins...  :D
	check hud/hud.cfg (and the docs if we've written them yet :P)

	cg_drawTimer, cg_drawFPS
	ch_drawFollow, cf_Following

add: no "door/rocket/etc epilepsy" during pauses

add: highlight followed player's scorebox in DM MVDs

add: rcon callvote <vote> <value> [arena]

chg: drag only in NTF (tho CTF still has "heavy" flags)

	(baseq3 has completely different behaviour for direct hits vs splash)

chg: initial PU spawns are synced

chg: default PU respawn in FFA now 90s

chg: rampjumps and doublejumps enabled in CQ3

chg: disable MVD unless CPMA sound is on
	there's 3 bugs in the VQ3 sound system that basically cause all players
	to hear all sounds during MV
	we allow it in TDM still since you can't really tell in that, and because
	OSP does too despite the bugs, but it's definitely a no-no in DM.

chg: VQ3 self-damage is always 50%

chg: "unregistered gamesound" is no longer fatal
	(only happens if you have s_initsound 0 anyway, so...)

chg: chat tokens are disabled for non-playing clients

chg: readying a team requires captain privileges

	and once you are, you just use the commands normally

chg: fall velocity needed to cause damage increased slightly
	(to match the numbers caused by the pmove bugs of lesser mods :P)

chg: cg_altPlasma always 0 for id's and 1 for cpm's (was too confusing)

chg: VQ3 uses id's "predictable furthest" spawn system

fix: muzzlepoint calculations (id bug)
	this is why you can't shoot people standing on your head

fix: no playercount checks if a ref uses callvote to elect other refs

fix: an undocumented hack in Q3 blocks ALL connections if g_gametype is 2
	so it's no longer allowed for "showas"

fix: the lights on top of the RG are the right color (id bug)
	this may well be the most pointless bugfix ever  :P

fix: connecting clients were being counted towards vote %ages

fix: id bots kept "choosing" gauntlet instead of RG in instagib

fix: id botlib randomly segfaulting with smart bots

fix: PMC ammo counts match CPMA 1.11

fix: hitting [BACK] on a demo list with 200+ demos could segfault

fix: say_teamnl as a spec used regular say rather than say_team

fix: repaired the altPlasma graphics (they'd become JPGs and thus sucked)

fix: armor pickup sound clipping (id bug, thanks skanq for the new wav)


Notes for version 1.31 (22 May 04)

This release also contains the files for ALL versions since 1.00.
This is a new (and ongoing) policy because the number of update paks
will soon reach irritating levels. Admins can (and should) delete all

keeping only that and the most recent version (i.e. pak131 right now).

chg: cg_nudge now allows up to -200

chg: cg_nudge now "extra" TN
	ffs don't use it unless you're GENUINELY HPB

chg: removed callvote promode - use callvote gameplay instead

chg: CPMA bots more tolerant of newb games (CA, IG, etc)

chg+fix: don't check for a map existing before allowing a vote for it
	it was handy, but it also broke mapcfg votes  :/

fix: can disable the netgraph again

fix: lava damage was just insanely broken (id bug)


Notes for version 1.30 (12 May 04)

	can't be voted in even with map_restrict 0

add: autoload maps into the maplist if map_restrict is 0

chg: map_restrict defaults to 0

chg: PG self-damage is only 50%

chg: RL knockback lowered by 10% in CPM

chg: #U no longer sucks

chg: cstats no longer shows downstream (S->C) if player is following someone
	(evil id netcode behaviour makes them unreliable there)

chg: g_smoothClients has been removed (again  :P)

chg: cg_smoothClients renamed to cg_xerpClients (-1|0|1, default 0)
	this should solve the "config pollution" stupidities but still let
	people who know what they're doing use it if they really want to
	all the old notes/warnings/issues/etc still apply
	so if you don't like it, don't whine about it: just don't USE it ffs

chg: cg_nudge replaces cl_timenudge
	timenudge definitely DOES do weird things internally to Q3
	I don't know WHAT, but the difference is clear and unmistakeable
	timenudge is now forced to 0, and nudging is handled internally
	by the new cg_nudge variable.
	the timenudge min/max votes have been removed.

chg: CQ3 respawn window now 1-4s

chg: mapcfgs with the same name as the base map are loaded automatically
	(i've avoided doing this in the past as it has a fairly high
	abuse potential, but people keep asking for it so...)

chg: weapon ammo in PM0 and FFA uses the nonsensical id scheme
	(note: this also lets bad mappers use custom ammo counts there)


Notes for version 1.22 (8 Feb 04)

add: bots use \nick

add: rat bot (finally :P)

add: callvote armordecay, vote_allow_armordecay (CA/DA/CTFS)
	(it's always been in there, but was disabled years ago
	because clueless CA admins would turn it off
	which makes CA even more of a campfest than usual)

add: callvote gameplay alias for callvote promode

add: ch_customLoc (default 1)
	use custom locations for a map if possible
	loc files are locs/map.cfg, and must have a "v2" header
	different to OSP: can only replace existing locations

add: /ff for demos ('>' does /ff 30 - handy for skipping pauses)

add: g_smoothclients (0|1, default 0)
	very annoying to have to do this...
	cg_smoothclients 1 (especially with timenudge) is the
	main cause of misleading enemy positions (and the whole
	"shooting behind people to hit them" whine).
	although we disable it on the client by default, pollution
	from baseq3 often enables it again without players noticing.
	ideally players would fix their configs, but apparently
	that's too much to hope for so the only option left is to
	force it off from the server side like OSP does.  :(

chg: RL self-damage is back down to 50%
	now always split *at least* half H rather than half H half A
	but still regardless of armour type
	i.e. a 100/0 player takes 50H total damage
	a 100/200 player takes 25H *and* 25A total damage

chg: RL self-damage even split is only for CPM and CQ3

chg: drag isn't applied during knockback
	means you get a few ms of "unlimited boost" on rocket runs
	to help close the gap better when chasing, then drag kicks in
	as normal to avoid "rj+permabunny" FC stupidity

chg: FFA doesn't use backpacks
	they penalise newbs for picking up weapons in the wrong order

chg: maxpacketsmin upper limit raised to 60

chg: maxpacketsmax lower limit raised to 60

chg: maxpacketsmin/maxpacketsmax not changed by modes

chg: server_promode renamed to server_gameplay (default "CPM")

chg: vote_allow_promode renamed to vote_allow_gameplay
	(default "", behaves like server_availmodes)

chg: removed Q1+Q2 armour systems

chg: shards are 2 in CPM1.0 armour system

chg: PG pickup has 40 ammo

chg: default MH behaviour for CTF is simplemega 0

fix: FC time included pauses


Notes for version 1.20 (4 Jan 04)

This release also contains the 1.11 files. Admins can (and should)
delete the z-cpma-pak111.pk3 and any beta pk3's from their servers,
leaving only pak100, pak110, and pak120 in the cpma/ dir.

add: PUBCTF mode config (teamdamage A-only, flag dropping on)

add: "locked" command to mapcfg parser

add: cg_nomip bit for in-flight rockets (512) - needs vid_restart

chg: cg_nomip defaults to 1023 (everything)

chg: HS triggered by time until capping rather than fixed distance

chg: specs can talk during warmup even if muting is on


Notes for version 1.16 (16 Dec 03)   BETA

add: HoonyMode 1v1 - see docs/HoonyMode.txt for details

add: all sorts of bot stuff (some of it is in 1.11 as well)
	see docs/bots.txt for details

add: new HUD cvars: ch_flags, ch_shortNames, etc - see docs/HUD.txt

add: \nick - set a short name to use for team chat/overlay
	limited to 5 visible characters, but allows colours

add: docs/demoplay.txt

add: callvote windelay (ms, CA:4000, DA:2000, HM: 500)
	vote_allow_windelay (0|1, default 1)

add: \protect - for when you accidentally hit ESC during a demo  :)

add: s_announcer

chg: own muzzleflash always disabled if cg_drawgun is 0

chg: cg_smoothClients defaults to 0

chg: rocket explosion animation lasts 0.5s (was 1s)

chg: a bunch of the HUD cvars - see docs/HUD.txt

chg: HUD health turns red at 33, not 30

chg: moved scoreboard on top of MVWs

chg: removed bot_boost

chg: lifts/doors/etc always crush corpses immediately

chg: removed match_windelayCA and match_windelayDA cvars

chg: thirdpersonrange limit in demos raised to 999

chg: rules for ending intermission
	if everyone rups (clicks) it ends immediately
	if nobody rups it stays there forever
	otherwise it stays for the usual 10s

chg: cg_gunOffset [x,y,z] replaces cg_gunX/Y/Z
	stupidities in Q3 mean the old vars can't work with GTV
	note that you MUST use commas (spaces screw up binds)

chg: removed LG "cripple" effect

chg: handicaps only affect damage

chg: weapon/box/max/backpack ammo counts (especially LG)

chg: no consecutive spawns on the same point in TDM
	note that this *doesn't* mean you can't spawn next
	to where you just died, just that you won't do it
	three times in a row

chg: CQ3 and PM1 use PM2 spawn system for DM

chg: CQ3 uses PM2 weapon settings

chg: PM LG knockback increased slightly

chg: PM2 SG reload lowered to 950ms

chg: PM2 RL bias lowered to 10

chg: PM2 PG damage lowered to 18

chg: PM2 PG "fattened" (shots have actual volume)

chg: PM2 PG knockback lowered to 2/3

chg: PM2 RL splash radius lowered to 110 (8% smaller)

chg: PM2 BFG splash radius raised to 120

chg: PM2 out-of-ammo penalty raised to 200ms

chg: PM2 CTF flags are "heavy"

chg: PM2 bunnying at high speeds (700+) actually requires skill
	or the haste powerup, which is now VERY valuable to FC's

chg: haste gives a 25% boost to base speed and dragpoint

chg: haste does not affect weapon reload times

chg: haste negates flag weight

chg: RL self-damage now 66% (sort of) rather than 50%
	always split half H and half A
	regardless of armour type or even armour presence
	i.e. a 100/0 player takes 33H total damage
	a 100/200 player takes 33H *and* 33A total damage

chg: remove viewpos, com_buildScript, cg_drawsnapshot, cg_stats
	(debug cruft that's just been hanging around)

chg: lock cl_anglespeedkey, cl_pitchspeed, cl_yawspeed

chg: teamed PUs default to sequenced, not random

fix: unspawned teamed PUs play pickup sound with cg_predictItems 1

fix: unspawned teamed PUs confuse bots

fix: railtrail positions and RG flashes (4! id bugs)

fix: drawgun 0 only affects the gun itself (id bug)
	used to have side effects on LG beam etc


Notes for version 1.11 (26 May 03)   Server-only release

add: nameteam/r_namered/r_nameblue commands
	\mvd and \autorecord will use these to name TDM/CTF demos
	cleared on map changes or when a team has no players
	only refs and "real" captains can use this
	(to avoid stupidities when allcaptain is set)

add: log players stats so far if they drop mid-game

add: force-throttle scoreboard updates to GTV
	30s in TDM/CTF now - the scoreboard is such a bandwidth pig
	that it really hurts live MV if everyone keeps hitting TAB

chg: tweaked some bot stuff
	skill is 1-100 now: 1-5 is id AI, 6+ is CPMA AI
	it's basically an aim modifier, i.e. 80 ~= HC aim

chg: no "player joined the game/spectators" message in non-team games

fix: q3dm6ffa and cpm16b mapcfgs


Notes for version 1.1 (20 Mar 03)

Old CTF demos may produce some weird/incorrect messages and sounds,
since I changed the behaviour of several things so I could recover
some of the bandwidth wasted by the "normal" CTF implementation.

add: arQmode :P (server_promode 2, callvote promode 2)
	see docs/arQmode.txt for details

add: server_optimiseBW (0|1, default 1)
	force the optimiseBW algorithm on for all clients

add: mvw_DM enabled outside of demos (great for GTV :P)

add: teamchat bandwidth optimisations

add: boatloads of CTF-specific bandwidth optimisations

add: Flag runs to \scores for CTF

add: cg_oldctfsounds 2 (default)
	uses mostly the old sounds for YOUR team's actions
		take enemy flag: four deep "urnks"  :P
		return our flag: single "knock"
		cap enemy flag: single fanfare from TA
	and TA sounds (but not the gay voices) for the enemy's
		take your flag: bigass alarm
		return their flag: three "knocks"
		cap your flag: lower-pitched "duh-duhh" noise  :P
	so you can actually tell WHICH flag is involved now, without
	needing to check the hud. note that the sounds are "US" and "THEM"
	so they're always the same for YOU no matter which team you're on

add: flag status to CTF coachview

add: dlight for Batsuit

add: r_vertexlight 2 (enables dlights)

add: negative wait values on lifts makes them always return
	positive waits means people can camp-force a lift to stay at top

add: automatically uncensor stats to GTV clients
	so GTV doesn't have to be ref'd to show armour pickups etc in DM

add: show connecting clients as well on the DM scoreboard spec list

add: cg_itemFX (bitmask, default 7)
	1 - bob up and down
	2 - rotate
	asymmetric items (weapons and armours) will always rotate
	4 - scale up on respawn

add: BFG stats to \accuracy (15 shots to qualify, same as RL)

add: optimiseBW also disables scoreplums

add: clamp sv_fps to values that the Q3 netcode actually supports

add: match client snaps to sv_fps on map load
	modemers MIGHT want to lower it to 15 on 30fps servers
	but otherwise are probably best off leaving it alone

add: cg_autoaction 16 - ignore autoaction ss/demo if you're a spec

add: more entities supported by mapcfgs
	must specify version 2 in the mapcfg to use them
	at start of file along with base bsp, e.g. // "cpm10" "2"
	misc_teleporter_dest, target_speaker
	team_CTF_redplayer, team_CTF_redspawn
	team_CTF_blueplayer, team_CTF_bluespawn

add: mapcfgs for CPM1a and CPM3 to fix the teleporters (*cough* jude :P)
	these are loaded automatically

add: a bunch of new mapcfgs
	!cpm10a (DM), !cpm18i (TDM), !cpm18ffa, !cpm16ffa
	!q3dm14ffa, !q3dm8ffa, !q3dm6ffa, !q3dm9ffa, !q3dm5ffa

add: r_coachred/r_coachblue commands - handy if a coach drops midgame

add: log_pergame (0|1, default 0)
	server logs written to a logs/ dir on a per-game basis
	implicitly disables the normal g_log logfile
	does not play nice with MA maps

add: mvw_TDM<1-9> - controls TDM/CTF MV layout when zoomed
	format is the same as mvw_DM, default is no child windows

add: ch_scores (default "640 400 1")

chg: removed all pmove stuff and just fixed the damn physics
	fed up with preserving retarded bugs just for "compatibility"
	physics are now not only more consistent across FPS ranges
	but also more consistent within themselves AT any fixed FPS
	interestingly enough, this is also the first time in Q3 history
	that jumppads have EVER worked correctly and reliably...  :P

chg: removed cg_oversamplemouse - no longer an issue

chg: removed server_realping - always the behaviour of the old "3"
	now done for all classes of specs as well as players

chg: various cstats things - uses a new scheme
	window for min/max/avg now ~1.25 seconds instead of ~6
	now tracks upstream and downstream stats separately
	if you're seeing large differences between them then
	either your settings are hosed or you're flooding one side
	(typically, maxpackets 125 on conns that can't handle it)

chg: #P only tracks "important" items now: weapons, PUs, armours, MH
	(the same set used by #I/#L)

chg: default MH behaviour for TDM is simplemega 0

chg: tweak the behaviour of LG sounds in coachview
	should stop them "bleeding over" and crackling

chg: tolerate invalidly interpolate-tagged entities in coachview

chg: successful kick vote sends console message rather than centerprint
	stops it distracting players if used during a game

chg: show scores immediately on GTV even if we have to use old ones
	tired of morons whining about how slow GTV is to send them  :P

chg: plasma explosions resized to match the shots properly

chg: max PG ammo now 100

chg: make bots jump when in slime/lava
	minimises damage and means they actually get OUT of it on cpm3  :)

chg: removed dlights from just about everything, most notably CTF flags
	they're so buggy and annoying that it's not worth keeping them
	and built-in EFC wallhacks are not exactly a great idea...

chg: removed cg_swapSkins
	it's been pointless really ever since we created the PM skins

chg: lava thaws use the normal thaw time value rather than 5s
	and can be interrupted like normal thaws too

chg: bots are smarter about thaws when there are multiple candidates

chg: make corpsicles a little bit bouncy - more fun that way  :P

chg: ESC in a demo menu tree pops you up one level
	rather than straight back to the main menu - that annoys me
	"back" still jumps all the way out just in case you like it

chg: max number of demos on menu reduced to 200

chg: addbot defaults bot skill to g_spSkill (used to just use 4)

chg: addbot on MA maps on a listen server defaults to your arena

chg: enable MVD in CQ3 (no idea if it works now, but ...)

chg: coachview support for up to 9 players

chg: moved the cfg-ra3/ files into cfg-maps/

chg: bot skill now 1-15 (default 10)
	they still suck pretty hard tho...
	see docs/bots.txt for details

chg: max bot LG skill reduced a little
	60%+ is just retarded in CPM because of the knockback

chg: bot_boost upper limit now 2.0

chg: speconly can now take a 0|1 argument

chg: speclock/specunlock are explicit
	the toggling was stupid and annoying

chg: enable the "teammate" sprite for players with Invis

chg: voodoostats support dropped
	sorry, but the osp stats format just sucks too much
	stats are now logged in an almost-sensible format
	but one enough like VS to make updating parsers trivial

chg: skinned scores use body colour only

chg: teams are automatically unlocked at end of game

fix: duplicated spectators on the DM scoreboard

fix: interval-based messages lost on servers with certain sv_fps values
	(pause/unpause countdowns, rup reminder, etc - i blame rhea  :P)

fix: mouse movement during pauses messing up view direction on resume

fix: bonus for protecting dropped flags (id bug)

fix: losing ready markers on the scoreboard if you die during warmup

fix: #L misbehaving if a map with shared entities changed modes
	rather than being started in the "right" mode

fix: #D not working for client 0

fix: direction to look at from intermission points

fix: issues with referees who were in-game DA players

fix: maplists "missing" maps on *nix servers sometimes

fix: Crash PM torso

fix: wait key ignored for lifts (id bug)

fix: distant/low-skill bots had totally borked prediction (id bug)

fix: spastic bot RJs (id bug)

fix: crushers blocked on com_blood 0 servers (id bug)

fix: ui used r_finish instead of r_swapinterval for vsync (id bug)


*** Important Note ***
Server admins upgrading to 1.0 from older versions should,
BEFORE installing, make sure they delete the following:
  ALL existing PK3's in cpma/ 
  The cpma/vm/ and cpma/maps/ subdirectories
  Any files in cpma/docs/


Notes for version *** 1.0 *** (25 Dec 02)

add: cg_optimiseBW (0|1, default 0)  YEAH BABY!  :)
	enable the old server_optimiseBW code, but on a per-client basis
	means portals are iffy at times, but everything else is perfect
	and the bandwidth savings can be HUGE in team games

add: "rescan" button to server browser
	reSCAN = update ping, map, etc of already-listed servers (fast)
	reFRESH = purge list and request everything from id master (slow)

add: automatically do full refresh for LAN page of browser if no list

add: \viewall as an alias for \mv

add: team damage, RL eff, RL direct hits to \stats

add: dlight for BFG shots

add: ch_wstatsTime (in seconds, default 10)
	how long the auto-wstats window stays up

add: several mapcfgs for standard maps
	!CPM2 - added location markers
	!CPM2B - YA moved, 2nd YA added, spawns tweaked
	!CPM4 - updated locations
	!CPM13A - additional PG and SG

add: cg_noTaunt (0|1, default 1)
	disable all taunts, not just voicechat ones

add: shortcuts for teamplay MVD POV changes
	B - Blue Flag, i.e. *red* FC
	R - Red Flag, i.e. *blue* FC
	F - either FC
	I - Invis player
	Q - Quad player
	S - Batsuit player
	P - any player with a real PU (i.e. not Regen/Flight/Speed)
	for F and P, if there's more than one PU/flag in play
	each keypress will cycle to the next one
	note that this is demo-only functionality

add: bot_boost (1.0-1.5, default 1.0)
	just a little cheat to make them a bit more fun to play  :P
	note that they're still incredibly stupid

add: sort the map display for the practice menu

add: legomode to the graphics options page

chg: removed the BETA message from the default MOTD  :)

chg: tightened the netcode one last time

chg: enabled coachview for all team games (was just TDM)
	it's not really suitable for more than 4v4 games tho

chg: unreferee removes specinvites as well

chg: MVD auto-adds (player joins etc) happen instantly

chg: show clients in \players as soon as they connect
	(so they can be kicked immediately if intruding but DLing)

chg: allow console to use \players on MA maps

chg: remove \viewadd and \viewremove

chg: remove g_speed and g_knockback

chg: vote_allow_falling renamed to vote_allow_fallingdamage

chg: ch_weaponListDrawAll behaviour now actually useful
	shows cases where you have finite ammo but no weapon,
	but not cases where you have neither. handy for TDM

chg: ch_weaponList 2 right-justifies weapons and ammo better

chg: removed cg_statscrolltime

chg: no auto-wstats at end of DM games - the scoreboard owns it

chg: powerup autofollow prefers flags over PUs

chg: server_optimiseBW removed rather than just ignored

chg: demo trees can now use up to 256 chars for path+demo
	democasts still have to be <64 though

chg: no warning message if a democast wav is missing

chg: updated most of the docs, and renamed them

chg: updated the "standard" video configs to something decent

chg: updated the "standard" net configs to something decent

chg: updated the net config screen itself to something useful

chg: increased the number of maps that the practice menu can handle

fix: carried flags flickering into view at times, especially with TN

fix: between-round joins in CA caused "countdown stopped" message
	and also stopped recording if you had autoaction 4 etc
	game still continued because only first round of CA needs rups

fix: inaccurate pings on heavy-pl clients

fix: match stats not dumped properly on MA maps

fix: ch_weaponList 1 and 2 didn't show medkit/PT

fix: ch_weaponListFlash was unreliable

fix: backpack model if you die holding the onhand hook is "best ammo"
	(same as for gauntlet and mg)

fix: direct hits with BFG have no explosion (id bug)


Notes for version 99z3 (15 Dec 02)

add: allow MA maps to specify what type they show up as in browsers
	update cfg-ra3/* accordingly

chg: cg_smoothclients now just (negative | off | positive)
	mapped to -50, 0, 50 internally
	default is 1, i.e. positive, i.e. 50 internally
	too many people just didn't understand it and set it wrong
	or used vq3 configs that had it at 1
	which was the worst possible value for y3-z2 builds

fix: arrows on server browser

fix: issues with extreme TN values (-75 to -100)

fix: z2 recalc'd readiness if people join DURING games as well
	which caused them to abort

pkg: server VM moved into PK3

pkg: standard mapcfgs (CPM13B, Abuse TMP, etc) moved into PK3


Notes for version 0.99z2 (12 Dec 02)

add: "+nologo" on command line skips id metalstamp cin at startup
	(always has, but now without giving an error)

add: "+browser" on command line starts Q3 at the server browser

add: cg_altLightning 2 - 4nTi/voo LG

add: 4nTi's updated BFG media

add: oNyx's updated grapple media

add: offhand crutch can be used to open doors etc

add: re-check ready percentage if players join during countdown

add: browser does a full refresh automatically if it has no servers
	handy for first-time users

chg: maximum TN upped to -100
	note that it will artifact like crazy at that point
	especially with +ve SC

fix: jerkiness with +ve SC on laggy conns

fix: release grapple at intermission, end of CA rounds, etc


Notes for version 0.99z1 (8 Dec 02)

add: enable TN (up to -50)
	(removed by id secretly over a year ago - gg placebos)

chg: CTF \kill penalty lowered to 2.5 sec

fix: final smoothclients tweaks (default 50)
	the effective range is limited to +-50
	0 disables
	negative values sacrifice accuracy for smoothness (99x9)
	positive values sacrifice smoothness for accuracy (99x8)
	either one will be jerky sometimes with heavy timenudges

fix: reassign captaincy if captain drops

fix: jerkiness in demos with certain configs

fix: no commentary in democasts that weren't in subdirectories

fix: rank preservation during match_windelayDA period
	(meant that losers who specfollowed winners weren't removed)

fix: double loss in DA if you specfollow winner

fix: "const violation in G_ParseInfos" on certain maps


Notes for version 0.99y3 (2 Dec 02)

add: scorebot helpers for the dominant arena on MA maps

add: caps, assists, defense, returns to CTF/CTFS wstats

add: \mv - enable multiview but don't record (handy for GTV)

add: cg_autoaction 8: enable multiview at match start
	note that this ONLY enables multiview
	use cg_autoaction 4 as well if you want to auto-record

add: support democasts natively
	WAV filename must match DM_xx filename, and start from FIGHT

chg: rewrote the server browser: now MUCH faster, and very usable
	note: Q3 tends to ping too many servers at the same time
	so the pings it reports are a bit iffy on lame conns like mine  :/
	click Refresh to rescan+reping the servers in the list
	double-click a server for info and playerlist
	press R to do a "full" refresh (to pick up new servers)

chg: serverinfo screen vars in alphabetical order

chg: more cg_smoothclients tweakage (default 50)
	negative values use the smoother, less accurate scheme of 99x9
	(preferred by tn lamers and modemers)
	positive values use a more accurate but usually jerkier scheme
	(same concept as pre-99x9, but slightly improved)
	in both cases, the magnitude determines the max prediction in ms

chg: removed cg_footsteps

chg: show seconds to DM specs

chg: can't hook movers (doors, plats, etc)
	they still hit though, i.e. will dink and open doors, etc

chg: onhand hook damage now multiplied by quad

chg: update DM/DA W/L/etc immediately at match/round end

chg: rounds column on DA scoreboard replaced with win%

chg: record/screenshot passthrough from GTV ignored

chg: speconly persists across map changes

fix: workaround for LinuxQ3 wildcard bugs (demos menu)

fix: truelightning < 1 with drawgun 0

fix: MA maps with map_rotate 0 didn't reset intermission properly

fix: tightened up force/enemy model/skin/colour for GTV/MVD/follow

fix: flag time column for CTFS wstats had wrong header

fix: bad stats in multi-round DA games

fix: "xxYY" in server_availmodes doesn't also enable "YY" mode

fix: playing unpathed demos from inside pk3's


Notes for version 0.99y2 (15 Nov 02)

chg: server_optimiseBW ignored
	the bugs in the engine wrt to portals are insurmountable  :/
	in the longer term I'll probably re-enable it selectively
	based on whether a map has portals or not

chg: bandwidth optimisation still applies to some extent on MA maps
	can at least optimise away different arenas without problems

chg: don't apply server controls for tn etc if on GTV

chg: show seconds in duels if on GTV

fix: 99y1 broke truelightning < 1

fix: UI startserver screen showed wrong gametype string

fix: FRAGGED/FROZEN messages for CA/FT after death

fix: freefloat specs had problems with bandwidth optimisation on
	not that it matters any more for now


Notes for version 0.99y1 (14 Nov 02)

chg: CTFS mode uses teamdamage 0

chg: server_promode tagged as serverinfo for ASE etc

chg: removed server_footsteps, server_prosound

chg: removed callvote exec, vote_allow_exec

chg: removed the crufty UI cvars when starting a server
	ui_ffa_fraglimit, ui_ffa_timelimit
	ui_tourney_fraglimit, ui_tourney_timelimit
	ui_team_fraglimit, ui_team_timelimit, ui_team_friendly
	ui_ctf_capturelimit, ui_ctf_timelimit, ui_ctf_friendly

chg: UI startserver sets mode_start

chg: UI startserver defaults teams to 4v4
	and puts DIFFERENT bots on each team, ffs id...  :)

chg: UI startserver sets pure based on "dedicated"
	(and since dedicated is always 0, pure will be too)
	id are never going to fix the bugs of listen servers

chg: client also disables sv_pure if running a listen server

chg: custom modes are case-insensitive matched (*nix needs it)

fix: your muzzle flashes disabled regardless of cg_muzzleflash


Notes for version 0.99y (10 Nov 02)
Getting very close to the end of the alphabet...  :)
Basically tying up any remaining loose ends.
This version changes/removes a LOT of server cvars:
rename cpma/q3config.cfg and let CPMA generate a new one for you
then add back in ONLY the cvars that exist in both
or that you're absolutely sure still do something useful

add: docs/cpma-q3-Modes.txt - how to use custom modes
	*** admins who allow RA3 maps should definitely read this ***

add: the maplist for MA maps is now "mamaps.txt" rather than "camaps.txt"

add: cfg-ra3 subdirectory
	thanks to whoever gave me the configs (John?) ages ago...
	just add "+set map_cfgdir cfg-ra3" to the command line

add: fixed the ra3map8 items to be "CPMA-complete" for yuks  :)
	used by the "Gutteral" arena - I defaulted it to 5-round FT
	need to use !ra3map8 to load the fixed version

add: map_restrict (0|1, default 1)
	whether maps other than those in the maplist can be voted for

add: set pb_sv_specname for GTV

chg: TDM mode updated to TTDM settings, TTDM removed

chg: mode_start now a string (default: "1v1") not an int

chg: server_availmodes now a string (default: "" (all))
	e.g. "1v1 TDM CTF"

chg: CPMA armoursystem now standard for all modes

chg: 90s PU respawns now standard for all modes except FFA

chg: Personal Teleporter disabled in all modes

chg: CTF mode disables Batsuit as well as Invis

chg: removed most gameplay-related server cvars
	fraglimit
	timelimit
	hook_enable
	instagib_reload
	match_dropitems
	match_overtime
	match_startarmor
	match_startrespawn
	match_startweapon
	match_timeoutcount
	match_timeoutlength
	server_armordamageself
	server_armordamageteam
	server_fallingdamage
	server_fastrail
	server_footsteps
	server_instagib
	server_prosound
	server_thrufloors
	g_powerupRespawnCTF
	g_powerupRespawnFFA
	g_powerupRespawnTDM
	g_weaponRespawn
	g_weaponRespawnCTF
	g_weaponRespawnTDM

chg: the "custom" config parser has been completely removed
	(previously used by "callvote exec" and per-map cfgs)
	settings are now just passed to the vote code.
	some commands are therefore changed or no longer supported
	"ammo" - format changed
	"weapons" - use "items -XX"
	"maxplayers" - no replacement/workaround
	multi-arena maps can now use "mode XX" rather than "type N"
	and almost certainly should  :)

chg: g_gametype ignored (remains only for ASE/Q3P/etc)

chg: remove a bunch of unused cvars
	dmflags, g_warmup, g_listEntity, g_rankings, g_singlePlayer
	g_podiumDist, g_podiumDrop, g_enableBreath, g_enableDust

chg: removed "HEALTH, ARMOR, RUNES, ITEMS" from +-vote display
	they still work fine, but they were visually awkward

chg: removed "ALL" from +-vote

chg: giving players MG on spawn can now be disabled

chg: startweapon is a bitmask (0|4-511, default 4:MG)
	starting ammo for each weapon is one "box"
	except MG which is 50 bullets

chg: CA mode ammo now 50 PG (was 100) and 50 RL (was 80)

chg: FTEU mode renamed to FTAG

chg: modes IFFA, ITDM, ICTF, ALTCA, FTUS, BFGA are now customs

fix: your gauntlet buzz played from the wrong place


Notes for version 0.99x9b (4 Nov 02)

add: callvote simplemega (default 0 in DM, 1 in other modes)
	vote_allow_mhstyle (0|1, default 1)
	wearoff vs periodic respawns

add: cg_muzzleflash works in MVDs

fix: use predicted rather than current weapon for hand positions
	(gets rid of artifacts on certain weapon changes)

fix: cg_useScreenShotJPEG was backwards


Notes for version 0.99x9a (30 Oct 02)
(incredibly, the first double-minor version number)

add: TDM MVDs show PU time remaining

add: TDM MVDs show exact armor type

add: mvw_DM (default "464 48 160 120")
	x, y, width, height of PiP window for DM games

add: MVD/coach shows PJ icon if player's ping goes over 200

add: ch_shortScoreboard (0|1, default 0)
	minimal scoreboard in DM (i.e. no stats)

add: cg_useScreenShotJPEG (0|1, default 1) for cg_autoaction 2

chg: coach mode totally overhauled

chg: MVD majorly overhauled

chg: preserve "true" referees across map changes

chg: max 3rd-person range is now 40 in all games, not just CA

chg: torso/legs/weapon are truly invisible for cloaked players

chg: Invis respawns match Batsuit, not Quad

chg: no sprites (carnage, pummel, etc) for players with Invis
	note that this includes the "lagout" sprite
	and crucially, the "teammate" sprite

chg: the stupidity of the stolen "cpm1a" is no longer tolerated

chg: new defaults for CA mode
	self and team armour damage, maxdamage 25

chg: ch_mvdPIP removed

fix: various annoying problems with 1.32 (messed up coach/MVD)

fix: player respawns/teles weren't using ProMode sound

fix: crash when using /ref to make another player a ref
	(doesn't actually DO anything tho - use vote)

fix: problems with 3rd-person views in MVD


Notes for version 0.99x9 (4 Oct 02)
(otherwise known as the "we love TTimo" build)

add: server_optimiseBW (0|1, default 1)
	Q3 1.32 and later only
	optimises bandwidth use, especially in team games
	uses a tiny bit of extra CPU on the server
	but CPU is cheap and bandwidth is not

add: s_occfactor is back! and better than ever  :)))
	it's ignored for coaches/MVD (don't ask...)

add: support dm_66 to dm_68 under Q3 1.32

add: support trees of demos  :P
	there are several engine-based limitations on this
	the most important one being a maximum TOTAL path length of 64
	still, it's a very handy way to organise demos
	dK owes me lots of beers for this one  :P

add: haste's version of cg_smoothclients (cheers mate)
	note that it's no more accurate than the old code
	but it's a LOT less ugly when using -ve tn

add: show fragmessages in MVDs

add: show ping in lagometer 4 in demos

add: cf_PickupString (default 10x14)
	apparently some players are deaf and need the text message...

add: BFG Arena (mode 13, bitmask 8192)
	CA with G/MG/BFG only, and infinite ammo. Stupid fun  :P

add: callvote maxdamage (0-200, 0 means no limit, default 0)
	(controlled by vote_allow_maxdamage, default 1)
	for CA: sets the max damage you can do to self+team
	very handy for BFG Arena, as it enables you to play with
	self-damage on without raping your armour while still
	avoiding RJ llamafests
	for simplicity, if health dmg is off and armour dmg is on
	then 100% of the damage is applied to armour, rather than
	split between h/a first and then tested for damage flags
	else you need to use 37 to get 25 off armour, which is ugly

add: +wstats is back

add: Tweaked TDM (mode 14, bitmask 16384)
	90s Quad, 150 RA

chg: removed server_ospauth (always on)

chg: pain sounds for you always played when you fall in lava
	used to not hear them if you had YA or RA
	because you only lose 1H at a time, which Q3 ignores
	(it thinks it's just health decay from 125H spawns / +5s / MH)
	but everyone else would hear them correctly

chg: keep "your" model when speccing in-eyes even in GTV

chg: upper limit on maxpackets_max raised to 125

chg: Batsuit respawn time now twice whatever PU respawn time is
	rather than always 120

chg: moved the connection line of the DM scoreboard to the top

chg: CTF mode defaults to SD OT (used to allow ties)

chg: OT clocks count down as well

chg: \hudstyle no longer changes ch_TeamBackground

chg: stats from previous game stay available until next game starts
	(used to be denied them after intermission / map change)

chg: don't draw your own shadow - it's annoying

chg: removed old cg_smoothclients 1 behaviour
	(it's always been crap - i should have pulled it ages ago)

chg: removed g_smoothclients

chg: propogate 999's out to the scoreboard faster

fix: cg_predict 2 jerkiness on lifts

fix: playernames with multiple consecutive dots broke autorecord
	(Q3 incorrectly thinks they're relative paths)

fix: powerup spawns not always being audible to coaches/MVD

fix: cleaned up a few overlaps with teamchat/overlay/pickup/etc
	in various hudstyles, notably 3 and 6
	some are simply not workable for TDM though, e.g. style 5


Notes for version 0.99x8 (9 Sep 02)

add: CPM13B map config (PG -> LG)

add: cg_predict (0-2)
	replaces cg_nopredict
	0 = off
	1 = normal
	2 = optimised
	the normal prediction path is extremely slow at times
	(notably around curves) and can cost you 100fps on a GHz machine
	this new scheme is MUCH faster, but slightly more prone to errors.
	oddly enough, it's still more accurate than the original
	id prediction code (i.e. before the CPMA fixes)  :)
	if you have a slow machine, it's definitely worth trying.
	* currently very broken on lifts
	* don't use cg_predictItems 1 with this

add: new scoreboard for DM
	needs a lot of work still, but is VERY cool for GTV  :)
	(accuracy icon is for RL skill: effectiveness and direct hits)

add: assorted GTV-awareness (prepping for live MVD)

add: picture-in-picture for MVD  :P
	(press P to cycle window positions during playback)

add: UPS in MVDs

add: support gametype-specific spawnpoints

chg: allow mappers to specify respawn times for certain types of items
	not weapons (can't play id "pro" maps with polish rules or in ffa)
	not powerups (cpm13 becomes awful)

chg: \acc "qualifying" shot count for PG upped from 45 to 50

chg: PickedUp and DiedWith columns renamed to Take and Drop
	was too much space for something so unimportant

fix: explicitly dropping the current weapon didn't switch from it


Notes for version 0.99x7 (15 Aug 02)

chg: only do realpings for non-following players

fix: maxpackets ranges not being reset by mode votes

fix: weirdness on hubaero with x6


Notes for version 0.99x6 (12 Aug 02)

add: \cstats [player_id]
	show connection stats for a client
	"real" average ping, flux, loss, etc

add: server_realping 2 and 3 (default 3)
	use the "real" average ping for the scoreboard
	less susceptible to maxpacket masking etc

add: MVD shows armor types, but only "RA" or "not-RA"
	i.e. YA and GA both show as YA

add: MVD will reacquire the "chosen" player when possible
	if it was forced to autocycle away from them

add: match_startarmor (0-200, default 0, Freeze-only)

add: match_startweapon (0|3-8, default 0, Freeze-only)

add: hook_range (default 1800)
	max distance the hook can reach (0 = no limit)

add: basic OGC 1.6 protection
	i really hate having to waste time on this crap  :/
	it's not like i'm short of things to keep me busy...

chg: MVD always uses default viewheight
	used to adjust if players were crouching
	but that could flake out under certain conditions

chg: death sounds aren't carried "with" players
	(it's annoying in ProMode because of the fast respawn)

chg: optimise prediction a bit when hitting multiple brushes
	it's still pretty bad though. when playing online,
	the client has to do a LOT of tracing and clipping.
	it especially hates you strafing along curved walls

chg: CTFS per-round max score is 3 (cap or touch + elim)

chg: hook_speedpull default now 700

chg: tweaked bot weapon selection a bit

chg: defaulted g_spSkill to 5 (nightmare) and bot_challenge to 1
	bots are still an utter joke regardless

fix: mode_idletime errors with empty maplists

fix: the rebound bug

fix: release the hook when teleported

fix: assorted model problems if you joined a game after MVD'ing

fix: yet another problem case with events
	if we get backlogged too far on playerstate events,
	we can never realistically catch up
	so cut our losses and just skip ahead in the stream
	(was the cause of gunfire echoes in MVDs)

fix: callvote random would crash in x4 - doh

fix: match_startrespawn was ignored even in non-mode Freeze


Notes for version 0.99x4 (14 Jul 02)

add: MVD playback updates player models on POV changes

add: MVD preserves scores for lower right on DM POV changes

add: MVD message when forced to auto-cycle
	typically only happens when players teleport/respawn
	and the recording client is lagging

add: ProMode sound option for CQ3
	server_prosound (0|1, default 0)
	callvote prosound, vote_allow_prosound
	typically makes games really slow though
	unless you turn off footsteps as well

add: Footsteps option for CQ3 (note: NOT dmflags 32)
	server_footsteps (0|1, default 1)
	callvote footsteps, vote_allow_footsteps

add: ch_playerNames (0|1, default 0)

chg: don't lock teams on \teamready in unlimited games

chg: no score throttling in DM MVDs

chg: poweruprespawn can be voted to anything from 30 to 120
	(was just 60/90/120 before)

chg: votes with ranges now display those ranges in the help

chg: removed the pure vote - GTV doesn't need it any more

chg: sample maplists moved to cfg-maps/sample
	since people keep overwriting theirs when they upgrade

chg: removed "cinematics" and "mods" from the main menu

fix: hit tones would wrap very quickly in instagib

fix: current timenudge/maxpackets limits showed wrong values
	(if you used callvote with no args to display them)
	the *behaviour* was right, but in some cases it would
	show them as disabled when they weren't


Notes for version 0.99x3 (25 Jun 02)

add: DM MVDs now show the player's weaponlist, roughly
	if they have a weapon but no ammo for it, it's not shown
	and only the current weapon has an ammo count

add: TDM MVDs show the player's current weapon on the weaponlist

add: CPM1B itemconfig and mapconfig files
	(the Polish CPM1A, but without screwing everything up)

add: show the "real" map name when loading a custom itemset
	(e.g. Q3DM12CPM rather than Q3DM12)

add: cg_lagometer options are now a bitmask
	1 - draw the netgraph background
	2 - colour the background if there's rate delay or PL
	4 - show your ping at the top
	8 - don't draw the frame interpolate/extrapolate graph

add: CTFS-aware bot AI

add: con_notifyTime < 0 uses the CPMA "console" overlay instead of id's
	doesn't affect the console *buffer*, just the text in the top left
	the default for con_notifyTime is now -1 (i.e. use the CPMA console)
	cf_Console default is 8x16, and scales the same way as the id console
	ch_consoleTime default is 3000
	to disable completely, set con_notifyTime AND ch_consoleTime to -1

add: ch_consoleLines (0-4, default 4)
	max number of lines for the console overlay
	(note that carriage returns generally mean it will display
	one line less than this value)

add: can use ENTER to launch a demo from the menu

add: sv_fps to serverinfo so clients can actually see what it's set to
	all but the most bandwidth-challenged servers should be using 25
	and ones with a nice connection should probably use 40

add: F11 in demos does a screenshotjpeg

chg: snaps defaults to 40

chg: now explicitly aware if we're connected through GTV
	fixes a few problems with GTV, especially on MA maps

chg: use white for "black" (i.e. invisible) rails

chg: tweak the duration of "external" events on players
	hard to explain but: for players who are not you, Q3 favours
	external events over player-generated ones for 300ms
	so if they pick up an item then fire a weapon, it won't
	actually "send" that weapon fire until that much later
	and in many cases, it NEVER sends those events because later
	player activity overwrites them.
	it's basically yet another variant of Q3's "dropped sounds" bugs
	and it's been like this forever, but it's only become really
	obvious since we introduced MVDs.
	since it HAS been so unremarked and fixing it properly would
	noticeably increase bandwidth usage, we've cut the lag down to
	100ms instead (ideally we'd use 50, but this gives us a cushion
	for a dropped packet or modemers with low snaps)

chg: allow bot-only games without having to ref-allready them

chg: plasma prestep dropped from 50 to 25

chg: ProMode plasma visuals shrunk from 16 to 12

chg: remove a bunch of cheat-only cvars
	cg_tracerChance, cg_tracerWidth, cg_tracerLength,
	cg_animSpeed, cg_swingSpeed, cg_noPlayerAnims,
	cg_debugAnim, cg_debugPosition, com_cameraMode

chg: remove cg_noVoiceChats, cg_noVoiceText, cg_noTaunt
	since we don't support TA voice rubbish

fix: re-enable the CPM damage-through-floors fix
	removed it a couple of builds ago because 1.2x supposedly fixed it
	shows what I get for trusting id's code...  :P

fix: compounded damage downscale when splashing multiple players

fix: muzzle render position was being adjusted twice for railgun

fix: bunch of id bugs in CTF AI code
	bots couldnt "find" flags on wcp21 and many other maps

fix: bot_minplayers works again (oops)
	accidentally nuked it in 99x when removing ai deadwood  :)

fix: yet more id bugs - the ingame menus (notably, team orders)
	would use the wrong client info if you were following someone


Notes for version 0.99x1 (14 Jun 02)

add: 3W CTFS (mode 12, bitmask 4096)
	thanks to Casey and the 3W team for permission

add: reset timescale to 1.0 on listens after watching demos

add: rench's updated docs

chg: the "low" ammo point for SG is 5 rather than 10

chg: enabled armoursystem vote in CQ3

chg: cg_shadows 2 and 3 removed - too buggy and cheaty
	(both project through walls etc)

chg: stepup events optimized

chg: improved client prediction during djumps
	CPM3 lower rl is easiest place to see the difference

chg: popsicles refreeze over time if abandoned mid-thaw
	same rate as for thawing, i.e. if you thaw for 2 secs
	then leave for 1 sec, there's 2 secs left

chg: unlock cg_gunX/Y/Z and clamp them
	x: -8 to +8, y: -3 to +9, z: -8 to +2
	(y is offset because 0 is the player's right hand
	not the center of their body)

chg: g_doWarmup removed - it's always been pointless
	setting g_warmup to 0 already turns warmup off
	and setting it to anything else turns warmup on

chg: end of match stats format changed to work with VoodooStats

chg: default settings for duels are 10 mins with 2-min OT

fix: model-specific custom sounds using the wrong voice
	(voiding and a couple of others)

fix: time-forced respawns couldn't set a starting weapon reliably


Notes for version 0.99x (20 May 02)
(otherwise known as the "demos" build)

add: Multiview demos!
	just \mvd and the game will take care of everything.
	can only be recorded by spectators, and have the same
	"visibility" rules as normal play, i.e. if teams are
	speclocked you need a specinvite or referee privileges.
	since this is ridiculous abuse of an engine that's
	SO not designed for this sort of thing, you can only
	(heh: only) MVD up to 12 players, and servers need to
	have maxclients <= 16 to make sure it works nicely.
	MVD only works in ProMode ATM - it needs the enhanced
	event handling code. Not sure yet if it's possible to
	get it to work reliably in CQ3.

add: keystrokes and mouse clicks no longer abort demos  :)
	TAB brings up the scoreboard
	PGUP / PGDN adjusts playback speed by +-0.25
	HOME sets playback speed to 1.0
	KP_5 toggles third-person rendering
	KP_UPARROW / KP_DNARROW moves camera to / from player
	KP_LEFT / KP_RIGHT moves camera around player
	KP_HOME resets camera distance and angle
	MVD-controls  :P
	SPACE/MOUSE2 switches to next player
	ALT/MOUSE1 switches to previous player
	note that binds will no longer work in this mode:
	to enable them, you need to hit ESC to turn off the
	crapout protection and return to the id behaviour
	(which means hitting ESC *twice* will exit)

add: cg_followpowerup works during MVD playback as well

add: team overlay works during MVD playback  :P
	it doesn't in normal GTV/ref "single follow" demos

add: cf_Console (default 7x12) - only affects demo playback
	nice bug in the Q3 engine:
	fixing the "exit demo on ANY keypress" problem
	causes the console fail to print to the top left corner
	so we have to mimic it ourselves

add: ch_consoleTime (ms, default 2500)
	how long "console" messages stay on screen during playback

add: ch_consoleTeamChat (0|1, default 1)
	add team chat to console
	note that setting this to 0 removes teamchat COMPLETELY
	from the console, not just from showing up at top left
	so if you miss it in the teamchat window, it's lost

add: ch_recordMessage (0|1, default 1)
	0 gets rid of the sodding "recording blahblah" message

add: ch_selfOnTeamOverlay (0|1, default 1)

add: cg_deadBodyDarken (0|1, default 0)

add: don't show PJ message if timescale is less than 1
	so you can slomo demos without having that flash constantly

add: \followpowerup as a command - same effect as \cg_followpowerup
	maybe bif will actually use it now (*cough* :P)

add: func_plat and func_door can now have custom sounds
	since the standard sounds are so pathetic as to be pointless
	use this rather than chaining them to a target_speaker:
	those get ignored by s_ambient 0 clients (which is everyone)
	done via two new keys for the entities:
	"sound_start" (the "move" sound)
	"sound_end" (the "stop" sound)
	if not specified, the default sounds are used

chg: tweaks to ammo given on weapon pickups
	TDM, weaponstay, and dropped weapons as before.
	other cases, the first pickup ALWAYS gives full weapon
	ammo, so rox+RL is finally 15 rockets, same as RL+rox.
	later pickups "refill" to weapon ammo as before
	(i.e. 3 rox => 10 rox) but do NOT give the stupid
	"one extra round" if you're over the weapon ammo.
	also, backpack capacity has been reduced a bit.

chg: armor default for team games is back to CPMA's "Team" system

chg: server_CPMA_armor removed - now implicit

chg: CPM1.0 armorsystem replaced with Q1 armorsystem
	shards at 2 (cointoss, since Q1 didn't have shards)

chg: re-ordered the armorsystems: Duel, Team, Q1, Q2

chg: use the predicted weapon for muzzle flash animations / sounds
	means +fire 4 when holding LG actually makes a GL noise, etc

chg: tightened up a few aspects of creepcam
	camera never drifts behind walls now
	camera swing accelerated if players make 180s to face a target

chg: backpack messages removed

chg: removed long-unused cvars g_friendlyfire and capturelimit
	(scorelimit is always set by "fraglimit", even for CTF and CA)

chg: removed cg_timescaleFade rubbish

chg: max ammo for BFG is now 25

chg: grenades back to being magically aware of who fired them
	still do 100% damage, but you can't selfnade any more  :(

chg: heh - noticed one of the effects of defaulting entities to
	being unmarshalled  :)
	it completely removes all the lame sound effects on maps
	like WCP15, regardless of the client's s_ambient setting.
	that type (target_speaker ents) are now marshalled again
	for the 0.1% of players who actually use s_ambient 1

chg: #w/#W chat token now shows current weapon and ammo
	the old "best" weapon meaning was pretty useless
	#W is red if you have less than one box of ammo, else white
	#w message doesn't change any colours

chg: #M chat token uses box counts to decide what "low" ammo is
	before it always used 5, which is useless for LG/PG

chg: #U chat token also shows time remaining on powerups

chg: can only see stats for players in the same arena as you

chg: damage and item counts for \stats not available during game
	except to players checking their own stats, and referees

chg: low ammo warning based on current weapon only
	and determined by box counts rather than guesswork

chg: cg_drawAmmoWarning replaced with cg_ammoWarning (default: 1)
	0 - none
	1 - "click" only
	2 - "click" and message

chg: removed everything related to cooldown option
	now fixed at 100ms (old cooldown 0 setting)

fix: callvote restart didn't cancel timeouts

fix: couldn't unpause a 1v1 if opponent dropped during the pause

fix: playerstate events sounding again after external events

fix: bars on HUDs 1 and 2 were opaque

fix: ProMode sound could occasionally "leak" between arenas
	if the arenas were right next to each other


Notes for version 0.99w5 (5 May 02)

chg: "Duel" armorsystem is now the default for team games as well

chg: quad shell is now always blue

chg: testmodel/testgun cruft removed

chg: all HUD variations show flag status in CTF

chg: popsicle effect is now totally white rather than bluish-white
	was a bit too close to the Quad effect with some configs

chg: be really agressive about popsicle trajectory tests
	stops them slipping through seams on maps like DM6

chg: max number of demos on menu increased to a real 240
	rather than an id-math 128, which is about 40  :P

chg: creepcam_smoothfactor renamed to creepcamSmoothRate
	since that's what it actually is

fix: no blood effect when SG'ing popsicles

fix: cg_enemycolors default should be "", not "0"

fix: coaches were being blacked out in speclocked games


Notes for version 0.99w4 (1 May 02)

add: linked/unlinked flag, marshal flag, and counts to \entitylist

add: "you defrosted xyz" and "defrosted by xyz" messages in FT
	(can be disabled with ch_fragMessage 0)

add: thawed popsicles explode into ice cubes
	(many if cg_gibs 1, otherwise just one)

add: crosshairnames for popsicles

add: players given assist reward for thawing teammates

add: cg_noProjectileTrail (0|1, default 0)
	only affects the underwater bubble trails

add: 3D heads on scoreboard and status bar use player colours

add: support "armorsystem"/"armoursystem" in config files
	just for bleader  :P

chg: preserve reward counts for temporary specs, i.e. dead CA/FT players
	means you won't see rewards when following other players
	but your own reward counts will stay correct no matter what

chg: "general" entities default to unmarshalled
	!!! note: I have no idea what problems this might cause.
	it seems to be fine so far, and on some maps it removes
	THOUSANDS of entities from client consideration every second
	so I figure it's well worth trying it for a while.

chg: ProMode voting rules
	can always be voted on
	can be voted off only if vote_allow_promode is 1, or
	server_promode is 0, or
	the player is a "true" referee (i.e. password, not election)

chg: removed the never-used "alternate standard" demo naming format

chg: closing doors bounce off popsicles, crushers thaw them

chg: overhauled a few things in the ProMode sound code
	sound radius is now 1400 units
	s_occfactor has been removed  :(((
	the behaviour is now always as it was with s_occfactor 0
	i REALLY didn't want to do that, but there seem to be some
	pathological cases where the true position of an entity is
	unavailable to us, so any on-entity sounds get messed up

chg: \color defaults to 9779 - tshirt and faded jeans  :)

chg: no time penalty added for \kill in DM/TDM

chg: players get 1 point for each second spent defrosting teammates
	rather than just crediting whoever finished the thaw
	to balance, teamkills cost players <thawtime> points

fix: q3w2 train; dm11 quad room!

fix: arena playercounts unavailable sometimes

fix: GTV can change arenas again

fix: strip filename-illegal chars from player names for demo record

fix: drowning timer was being reset during pauses

fix: could get impressives from shooting teammates

fix: players who died in water (inc lava/slime) gurping on respawn

fix: item pickup sounds not played reliably if you respawn ON an item


Notes for version 0.99w3 (23 Apr 02)

add: say_teamnl - doesn't add your location to the message

add: support "maxplayers" in config files (per-arena)

add: avoid popsicles like real players when choosing a spawnpoint

add: instagib modes to the game settings menu

add: callvote startweapon and vote_allow_startweapon (default 1)

	default set by team_allcaptain (default 1)

add: accept "armour" and "armoursystem" (i.e. English) votes

add: cg_lagometer 2 - colours the netgraph background as well
	lpbs can't notice rate delays otherwise
	because the graph itself is only 2 pixels high

chg: players with Batsuit don't "gasp" when coming out of water

chg: force "fullsize" popsicles rather than using the player bounds

chg: split FTDM (mode 10) into FTEU (mode 10) and FTUS (mode 11)
	FTEU has startrespawn 1, spawn with MG
	FTUS has startrespawn 0, spawn with MG + SG
	both use teammaps.txt for the maplist

chg: uncouple cg_shadows 1 from cg_marks and nomip them

chg: show CPMA players colors on player model screen as well

chg: put all the promode skins first in the model screen

chg: matchmode no longer requires even teams

chg: cool new credits page

chg: no auto MOTD window after connecting
	it's already shown on the connection screen itself

chg: standard demo name format for 1v1
	if a player records, it's "ThisGuy(POV)-vs-ThatGuy"
	if a spec records, it's just "Player1-vs-Player2"

chg: removed many referee commands that also exist as votes

fix: cg_predictitems 1 sound echo

fix: corpses on MA maps couldn't be gibbed sometimes

fix: not spawning only the TDM itemset on some maps (rdogdm4) in freeze

fix: non-MG ammo counts reset to 0 after each round in EU freeze

fix: autothaw timer not halted during pauses

fix: viewpos as a spec after dying in CA/FT was offset by cg_thirdPersonRange


Notes for version 0.99w2 (10 Apr 02)

add: Freeze Tag TDM! as g_gametype 6 (mode 10, bitmask 1024)
	based on Darrell "Doolittle" Bircsak's original (thanks man)
	vote_allow_thaw (default 1)
	callvote thawauto (seconds, default 120)
	callvote thawtime (seconds, default 3)
	callvote startrespawn (0|1, default 1)
	ON (default) = EU rules:
	all players reset to base attributes + loadouts after each point
	OFF = semi-US rules: losing team is thawed; winning team is NOT
	but the living players on the winning team keep their current h/a
	(note that this may well be LESS than the spawn h/a) and weapons

add: CPMA colours can now be used in names, crosshairs, etc
	(everywhere that's under my control, basically, which
	is anything game-related but not the console)
	some of the numeric colours have been changed as a result
	0: was white, now black
	7: was orange, now white
	8: was purple, now orange - T is the closest to the old 8
	id have always had 5 and 6 backwards. since I can't fix the
	console, they're now wrong in CPMA as well, for compatibility
	(note to id: ever heard of constants?)

add: ch_crosshairAlpha (0.0 to 1.0, default 1.0)

add: \kill adds 5 seconds to respawn time

add: Swelt's "Guide To Configuring CPMA" to readme.txt

add: Drex's Q3DM12CPM

add: cg_oldCTFSounds (0|1, default 0)
	no voiceovers on captures, flag pickups, etc
	also controls non-leadchange FTDM end-of-round announcements

chg: cg_crosshairColor renamed yet again to ch_crosshairColor
	default changed to 7 since 0 is now black

chg: cg_crosshairPulse renamed to ch_crosshairPulse

chg: item scaleup time on respawns changed from 1000 to 250
	items also start at half size and scale up from there

chg: BFG shots are now 1200ups (was 2000)
	reload is 800ms (was 200)
	damage is 120 (was 100)
	splash damage is 120 (was 100)
	splash radius is 144 (was 120)
	knockback scale is 120% (144% relative, given the higher dmg)
	rocket running boost is 120% absolute (to match RL)
	warmup/CA ammo 5
	initial/box ammo 5
	enabled by default in all gametypes except CA/DA

chg: cg_errordecay clamped at 0-200

chg: after bouncing, grenades no longer pass through whoever fired them
	so if you spam, you're a threat to yourself too

chg: your own grenades do FULL damage to you, not 1/2

chg: PG splash radius is now 10 units instead of 20

chg: server_availmodes default changed to -1 (all modes)

chg: RG selected automatically when respawning in instagib

chg: remove g_quadfactor - we override it anyway

chg: coaches don't viewcycle to other team even with speclocks off

chg: team damage enabled for CTF mode and default

chg: stats window removed after intermission

chg: CQ3 powerup respawns match ProMode
	this also means that they're now votable

chg: CQ3 ammo box counts for \drop match ProMode

chg: cg_lightningImpact enabled for CQ3

chg: timeout allocations were ridiculous
	new rules are: 2 @ 60s for DM; 3 @ 120s for team games

chg: ITDM/ICTF show Net/O/D stats on the scoreboard rather than Acc

chg: bot AI adjusted for the new BFG

fix: "picked up" stats were counting the killer's current weapon
	not the one that was actually in the backpack

fix: coach chat going to other specs rather than coached team

fix: gauntlet would "fire" on occasion even if it wasn't actually hitting

fix: id bugs and stupidities in the team overlay location code

fix: multiview could make Q3 segfault when a viewed player died

fix: team overlay restored in CA if freefloat after following enemy


Notes for version 0.99w1 (18 Mar 02)

add: total health and armour taken and RA/YA/GA/MH counts to stats

add: "picked up" and "died with" counts to weapon stats
	note: "died with" rather than "died and dropped"
	so it's good for CA as well

add: ch_3waveFont - thanks to the Threewave guys for permission

add: OSP coach functionality
	/coach, /coachinvite, /coachdecline, /coachkick

add: scoreboard shows per-team spectators and coaches

add: "callvote random n" and vote_allow_random
	where n is a number from 2 to 100
	2 is the equivalent of flipping a coin
	6 is like rolling a die
	handy for choosing maps etc

add: "callvote ot" synonym for "callvote overtime"

add: server version shown on loading screen

chg: vstr now enabled in CQ3 as well

chg: CQ3 clocks match ProMode
	(count down, not up; no seconds in 1v1 play)

chg: players spawn with 100 armour during warmup

chg: auto-join if it's an FFA game

chg: auto-join if it's a team game and g_teamAutoJoin is on

chg: mode TDM now enables weapon dropping by default (CPM and CQ3)

chg: shots during the match_windelayCA period don't affect stats
	so you don't "lose accuracy" when gibbing bodies etc

chg: g_weaponRespawnCTF defaults to 5

chg: CTF mode sets weapon respawn to 5

chg: 1v1 mode disables holdables (PT, MK) as well
	never understood why OSP leaves them enabled

chg: "restart arena" item removed from UI menu

chg: timed overtime in 1v1/FFA uses 2-minute rounds

chg: item respawns are absolute
	gameplay rules > map-specified ones
	for ALL items now, not just weapons

chg: s_occlude removed - s_occfactor 0 is equivalent
	(always has been, actually)

chg: s_ambient 0 now more aggressive (fixes T2, WCP15)

chg: s_ambient changes now take effect immediately
	(no longer needs a client restart)

chg: target_speakers don't use the ProMode sound system
	helps cut down on noise even for s_ambient 1 clients
	(and saves small amounts of bandwidth)

chg: updated version of DM12TMP - cheers Drex
	doors still don't behave the way we'd really like,
	but at least it's playable again now

fix: starting a server through "practice" preserves g_spSkill
	(id code resets it to "Bring It On" *cough*)  :)

fix: "minutes played" wasn't getting reset reliably on map changes

fix: couldn't see your damage stats mid-round when dead in CA

fix: several multiview bugs

fix: gauntlet hits weren't shown unless there was a kill as well

fix: players could make multiple gauntlet hits in a single frame
	(yet another id bug, only happened with pmove on)
	Menace gets a cookie for finding it  :)


Notes for version 0.99w (14 Jan 02)

!!! Important - CPMA no longer supports VQ3 !!!

The non-ProMode option in the mod is now "Challenge Q3".
After two years, Q3's newbie population is now essentially non-existent,
and the original justifications for certain design decisions are long
since obsolete. It's time the base game grew up to match the skill level
of the people playing it today rather than the target audience of those
who created it.
Where ProMode redefines all major aspects of the game: player movement;
melee/weapons; and strategy, CQ3 addresses only the strategic elements
and a few things that are very poorly implemented in VQ3 (think of
these as bugfixes on steroids).

The Challenge Q3 changes are as follows:

Strategic:

Hit tones match ProMode
	Four tones, each with a 25-damage range
	Lower pitches indicate higher damage

Player spawns match ProMode
	100 health; 50 bullets for the MG

Player respawn times are reduced
	Minimum limbo time is 1 second
	Maximum limbo time is 10 seconds

Weapon respawns match ProMode
	15 seconds in DM; 30 in TDM; 10 in CTF; weaponstay in FFA

Item respawns match ProMode
	Ammo boxes - 30 seconds
	Health - 30 seconds
	DM MegaHealth - 20 seconds after it "runs out"

Initial powerup spawns match ProMode
	15-30 seconds into the game

Powerup factors match ProMode
	Quad is "true", i.e. 4x damage. Be very afraid.  :)
	Batsuit protects at 75%

Armour system matches ProMode (the "CPMA Duel" system)
	Armour does not "decay" over time
	GA protects 1:1, first pickup 50,  second adds 50
	YA protects 2:1, first pickup 100, second adds 50
	RA protects 3:1, first pickup 150, second adds 50

MG matches ProMode
	5 damage per shot in all games, 25 bullets per ammo box

Railgun ammo boxes match ProMode
	5 slugs

Maximum ammo counts match ProMode
	SG 100; GL 100; RL 100; RG 100

Item sizes match ProMode
	Items can be picked up while strafejumping

Water speeds match ProMode
	Faster wading and swimming

Fixes:

Damage from the "world" matches ProMode
	Lava and slime cause a steady flow of damage

SG matches ProMode
	Max damage now only 96, but aim actually matters

Other enhancements:

Grenade model matches ProMode


Notes for version 0.99v9 - private build

add: update g_gametype on mode changes (non-MA maps only)
	handy for server browsers

add: scorebot helpers to serverinfo
	Score_Time, Score_Red, Score_Blue
	Players_Active, Players_Red, Players_Blue

add: #F chat token - nearest Friendly player, i.e. teammate

add: new meaning for #P chat token - last Pickup

add: com_maxfps is capped at 125 for online play

add: enable a bunch of ProMode-only features in CQ3 as well
	cg_smoke_sg; cg_muzzleFlash; cg_damageDraw; cg_drawGun 2;

add: "Net" column on TDM scoreboard

add: "O/D" column on CTF scoreboard
	O (orange) is runs+caps+assists
	D (yellow) is returns+escortD (NOT base D)

Demos from older versions will show strange numbers in those fields,
as they were used for damage until now.

add: "Dmg" column on CA scoreboard

add: Show "Net" when playing back OSP demos

chg: "Lag" and "Min" replace "Ping" and "Time" on scoreboard
	needed every bit of space I could wrangle  :)

chg: "Score" column for CA now just frags rather than "total impact"
	yes, I know it's lame

chg: new rules for #I
	you must have a clear line of sight to the center of the item
	you must be looking in the appropriate direction
	and it must be within your (potential) fov
	this helps a LOT if you want to say "RG up" but you're nearer YA/PG
	if you run past the item THEN hit your bind, that's your fault

chg: old #P chat token now #U (Utterly Useless powerUps list :P)

chg: remove cg_teamrails - it was unnecessary complexity
	thus, cg_enemycolors is now *always* RHBL

chg: armour class for ProMode CA is now YA

chg: weaponrespawn is absolute again
	we gave map-specified respawn times priority way back when,
	because id "pro" maps would use still 5 secs by default in VQ3.
	of course, that meant you *couldn't* get 5 sec spawns on them.
	Poland > VQ3, so it's back to being mod-controlled

chg: FFA default and mode weapon respawn is weaponstay

chg: ProMode changes do NOT reset ANY other options

chg: elected referees can't disable ProMode on PM 1 servers

chg: remove arenatype vote - people should be using MODE

chg: update the vote UI to use MODE rather than arenatype

chg: remove mapcfg from the vote UI

chg: remove r_reset command

chg: remove reset vote
	this was originally implemented so that people could use a
	single vote to get the server back to default (i.e. match)
	settings. MODE provides a better solution to that problem

chg: remove a bunch of useless cruft from server info
	(doesn't actually make a difference, because as usual
	id have bodgejobbed the damn thing so it doesn't work)

chg: corpse sink time changed from 5000 to 1000 (except CA/DA)

chg: DA implemented as a mode (bitmask 512)
	if used on a non-MA map it will select the CA maplist

fix: MH was using DM rules in FFA as well

fix: weapon pickup sounds not played if weaponstay was on

fix: couldn't pick up dropped weapons in VQ3 if weaponstay was on

fix: weaponstay weapons always give full default ammo

fix: two-pass spawns at "true" game start were confusing Q3
	if you were holding fire at end of warmup
	client and server would disagree on which weapon you had
	which led to some very strange behaviour at times

fix: poweruprespawn added to mode settings

fix: teams are preserved on map changes, as is the queue for 1v1
	only for non-MA maps, obviously


Notes for version 0.99v8

add: use \color2 for rail rings as well as rail spiral

add: demo menu version autodetect updated for Q3 1.31 / dm_67

fix: mode CTF turns off team damage

fix: double item-give on first spawn of game
	(have to spawn items first then players, or you can respawn an item
	under a player who already picked it up on their respawn)


Notes for version 0.99v7

Important! The armor systems have been tweaked in this build for playtesting
	YA now protects at 66% instead of 60%
	Since that moves the breakeven point for RA/YA transitions from 120 to 133,
	the value of a single RA in the Duel system also needed to be increased.
	These changes mean that the Duel armor rules are now:
	GA protects 1:1, first pickup 50,  second adds 50
	YA protects 2:1, first pickup 100, second adds 50
	RA protects 3:1, first pickup 150, second adds 50
	Wow - a clean, consistent set of armor rules  :)
	Let's hope it playtests well...  :)

add: match_maxsuicides (default 0 - disabled)
	players who /kill more than this many times will be auto-banned
	stops them screwing up TDM games and forcing draws in DA

add: map_delay (seconds, default 30)
	no map voting allowed for this long after a map change
	unless everyone's loaded the new map and is ready to play
	stops one lamer with a fast machine forcing changes to a map
	by voting it in before anyone else has managed to reconnect

add: MA maps can be rotated after a timelimit
	either a hard tl, which rotates no matter what's going on
	or a soft one, which waits until the "dominant" arena is ready

add: map_cfgdir (default "cfg-maps")
	sets where the maplists etc are read from
	(for running multiple servers on a single install)

add: cf_Vote (default 10x14)

add: block the bobup cheat

add: nomip blood (128), nomip smoke (256)

add: \topshots (ffs rhea...) as a synonym for \accuracy

add: per-weapon minimum shot counts to be eligible for \accuracy
	MG: 50, SG: 100, GL: 10, RL: 15, LG: 150, RG: 10, PG: 45

add: PureCTF grapple model - thanks to Kilderean

chg: ProMode colours aren't normalised any more
	in English, that means they're ALL really bright now.  :)

chg: remove the vstr vote and cvars - they're always available in ProMode

chg: allow \maplist during intermission

chg: mode changes on MA maps don't load a new maplist
	this kinda sucks for servers that switch between MA and non-MA maps
	AND different gametypes (e.g. a server is on ra3map1 and people want
	to play CPM3) because you have to call the mode, then call a map that's
	on the CURRENT list to get the new list loaded before you can call the
	map that you really want. But that's just the way it goes sometimes.  :(

chg: damage efficiency calc is no longer rounded

chg: removed ch_scoreStyle
	OSP's "total impact" score is always used: (damage given + 100 * frags) / 100

chg: back to the old-style crosshairname fadeout
	the OSP one is too distracting for a lot of people, including me  :)

chg: allow cg_nomip in VQ3

chg: offhand crutch no longer silent

chg: fov clamped to 130, and you're damn lucky i didn't make it 120  :)

fix: per-map configs (e.g. CPM1A) now go in map_cfgdir/ as well
	and this time, I mean it. DOH!  :)

fix: skinned scoreboxes keep team colors when following enemies while dead in CA

fix: "#" (no token) chat bug

fix: "callvote items +" (no item) bug

fix: not always getting the first "spawn weapon to non-spawn weapon" switch
without penalties


Notes for version 0.99v6

Important:
This version contains some experimental netcode+prediction tweaks.
While I'm pretty confident they make for better play, especially
for the common 35-100 ping case, it may take you a couple of games
to get used to them.

add: maplist support!  :)
	added cfg-maps/ subdirectory and standard maplists
	moved cpm1a.cfg to cfg-maps/

add: map_rotate (0|1, default 0)
	if non-zero and a MODE is enabled, server will rotate to
	the next map in the list for that mode when fl/tl/cl/rl is hit
	map_rotate is ignored if the server is in 1v1 mode
	or is running a multiarena map

add: mode_start (default -1 (no mode))
	which mode to start with (or switch to if server is idle)

add: mode_idletime (minutes, default 10)
	how long before idle servers reset to default mode+map

add: \maplist - shows maps available for current mode

add: "callvote map n" where n is a map id from \maplist

add: ch_skinScores (0|1, default 0)
	colors the scoreboxes with the body+legs of your/enemy colors
	also for the "players remaining" boxes in CA

chg: removed the cfg/ dir
	modes should be used instead for those, for all standard play
	per-map configs (e.g. CPM1A) now go in cfg-maps/ as well

chg: removed the "mapcfg" vote - combined with normal map votes now
	just use a ! at the start of the "map" name instead
	e.g. "callvote map !q3dm14tmp"

chg: the penalty for switches from G/MG to non-spawn weapons
	no longer applies on the first switch
	so you can grab a weapon after respawning and use it immediately

chg: pmove_msec has been removed (now always 8)

chg: cg_nomip for weapon effects/marks matches OSP
           1 - Lightning
           2 - Plasma
           4 - Rocket explosions
           8 - Grenade explosions
          16 - Bullets (machinegun and shotgun)
          32 - Railgun
          64 - BFG

chg: the instagib mode bits have been moved down
	so that they're next to the others. the new values are:
	Instagib FFA - 64
	Instagib TDM - 128
	Instagib CTF - 256

chg: respect cg_forcemodel 0 for in-eyes POV in demo playback
	just for you, JL  :)

fix: dropped clients would hang around on the scoreboard sometimes

fix: stats dumps at end of matches

fix: description for chatflood vote


Notes for version 0.99v5

Important:
I've kept compatibility with Q3 1.27 until now because 1.29 was so awful.
Since 1.30 actually works, this build has some changes to exploit some of
the features in it, and may not work reliably on older versions.

Interesting trivia:
the assorted cleanups of the code over time mean that if you use hudstyle 0
(the baseq3 hud) then CPMA timedemos "four" faster than baseq3 does.  :)

add: \statsall, \statsblue, \statsred

add: non-SD overtimes - callvote overtime <0|1|2>
	default set by match_overtime (default 0)
	0 - Sudden Death (first score decides)
	1 - Timed Overtime (additional rounds of 5 mins each until a winner)
	2 - No Overtime (can end in tie)
	for MODES: FFA and DM use 0, TDM uses 1, CTF uses 2

add: #C chat token - where your corpse is
	ProModers tend to respawn instantly - this lets them still use
	"enemy at #c" / "#c lost" binds

add: #I chat token - nearest (potentially) visible item
	including backpacks and dropped weapons  :)

add: new meaning for #L - Q2-style locations (nearest armor/weapon/MH spawn)

add: mode altca (mode value 4) - ra3-style loadout and damage settings

add: if a matchmode is in effect
	automatically record demos and take screenshots at the end of the game
	if it's CA, player stats are reset at start

add: all matchmodes mute specs; all normal modes unmute them

add: better handling of demo playback from broken OSP versions

add: cf_Following (default 24x24)

add: cf_FragMessage (default 16x16)

add: cf_CrosshairNames (default 12x12)
	and that cute little scaling fadeout OSP uses for them  :)

chg: ch_drawFollow now sets the y-position of the message

chg: ch_fragMessage (0|1, default 1)
	used to be: 0 - off, 1 - small font, 2 - normal font

chg: cg_drawCrosshairNames
	used to be: 0 - off, 1 - small font, 2 - normal font
	now: 0 - off, 1 - all players, 2 - teammates only

chg: player icon and armor type no longer shown in crosshairTeamInfo
	(it was wrong before, actually: showed your armortype instead)

chg: the "pickup names" and #L descriptions for armors
	now Red/Yellow/Green rather than Heavy/unqualified/Jacket

chg: \scores doesn't show damage mid-round in CA matchmode

chg: \stats on speclocked players doesn't show damage

chg: cg_autoaction bits match OSP's
	1 - Automatically save stats to a local text file at the end of a match
		Logs are stored in: <cpma_root>/stats/<date>/<logname>.txt
	2 - Automatically take an end-level screenshot
	4 - Automatically record the game (requires warmup to be on)

chg: remove match_overtimelength, match_overtimecount, type 3 overtime (tie-timed)

chg: remove all references to QTV (long since dead)

chg: remove old #L (health and armor) - it's pointless. use #h #a

chg: passworded refs can unref themselves

chg: say_team in CA when dead goes to all specs if the other team is not speclocked
	so dead people can chat with each other in pickup games
	but you can still talk privately to your teammates in matches

chg: predict the grapple trail start point as you move
	looks MUCH better - thanks Kilderean

fix: messages for team/self damage changes were going to all arenas

fix: ignore "save stats" commands etc if just playing back a demo

fix: player counts were updating instantly if someone joined a CA team mid-round


Notes for version 0.99v4

add: the Q3Comp scoreboard. finally!  :)
	when players die in CA, their line is darkblended

add: Khaile's 1337 hack to keep the scoreboard accurate during demo playback
	(players time+ping don't update, but the actual scores do)

add: time+date stamp to intermission screen

add: ch_weaponListSeparator (length, default: 74)
	controls the lines that separate sections on the vertical weaponlist

add: callvote mode <mode_name>
	changes to a configuration that is always the same on any server

add: callvote match <mode_name>
	execs a mode config
	requires even teams to start the game (if it's a team mode)
	100% of players must rup for a game to start (if mode uses warmup)
	locks/speclocks teams when match starts (if mode uses warmup)

add: server_availmodes (bitmask, default 63)
	1 - FFA
	2 - 1v1 / DM
	4 - reserved - currently ignored
	8 - TDM
	16 - CTF
	32 - CA
	256 - Instagib FFA
	512 - Instagib TDM
	1024 - Instagib CTF

add: ch_scoreStyle (0|1, default 0) - only used by the CA scoreboard
	0 - "raw skill" (damage efficiency)
	1 - "total impact" (damage given + 100 * frags: the OSP style)

chg: instagib warmup now only gives players gauntlet and RG

chg: default CA loadouts now match OSP

fix: HUD CTF flag status reset at start of games

fix: wrong message when referees \removed players

fix: rounds played count for DA


Notes for version 0.99v3

add: mimic the behaviour of some of the no-longer-supported A3D functions
	s_occlude and s_occfactor (ProMode only)

add: \accuracy [weapon]
	with no args, shows "best" players with each weapon
	with "RL" etc as arg, shows stats with that weapon for all players
	minimum of 10 shots to qualify for the title (except for SG)

add: in DA, \stats and +wstats will show your stats if you're a freespec

add: OSP Hook control vars
	hook_enable (0|1|2, default 0)  0 - disabled, 1 - offhand, 2 - onhand
	hook_delaytime (ms, default 750)  minimum time between hooks
	hook_holdtime (secs, default 3)  how long you can stay hooked
	hook_sky (0|1, default 0)  sky/noimpactsurf hooking enabled
	hook_speed (ups, default 1200)  rate hook travels
	hook_speedpull (ups, default 950)  rate at which player is pulled
If you want a more Alliance-style hook, the values are hook_speed 1250,
hook_speedpull 650 (thanks fredo) and hook_delaytime 100 (I think).

add: match_dropitems (1-3, bitfields, default 0, TDM and CTF only)
	1 - can drop weapons+ammo
	2 - can drop flags
	\drop - drops the current weapon and all ammo for it (SG to PG only)
	\drop <SG|GL|RL|LG|RG|PG> - drops that weapon and all ammo for it
	\drop <bullets|shells|grenades|rockets|lightning|slugs|cells> - drops a "box" of ammo
	\drop flag
	\drop ammo - drops a "box" of the current weapon's ammo
	note: a "box" IS a box, as determined by the gameplay rules
	in OSP, certain "drop" box ammo counts are wrong (LG, PG)

add: callvote dropitems and vote_allow_dropitems

add: cg_followpowerup

add: a bunch of semi-gimmicky things to the connection screen

add: cg_noTeamchatBeep (0|1, default 0)

add: \addstr <cvar1> <cvar2>
	combines strings - very handy for complex team messages

add: support "selfdamage" in config files and update cfgs
	0 - none
	1 - health only
	2 - armor only
	3 - both

add: callvote selfdamage and vote_allow_selfdamage

chg: callvote teamdamage is now 0 to 3, not 0 or 1
	so that it matches the cfgfile entry and the selfdamage vote

chg: remove armordamageteam and armordamageself votes, and vote_allow_armordamage

chg: all cg_hud_* cvars renamed to ch_*
	e.g. crosshairColor, fragMessage, weaponList, etc
	yes, this means you'll have to edit your config  :)
	but it's long since time we made both mods consistent on these

chg: remove the "demo is from a broken OSP version" button on demos menu
	it auto-senses them now
	there are still a few OSP demos that simply can't be played back
	but there's nothing I can do about that right now

chg: server_chatfloodprotect now controls the max # of msgs per second
	e.g. server_chatfloodprotect 2 means you can talk every 500ms

chg: spectators used to get credit for "time served"
	if they'd been waiting in one arena and changed to another
	it confused RA3 players though (much like almost everything seems to)

chg: speconly now also does a "team s" automatically

chg: weapon respawn delays set by mappers now have priority
	so the id "pro" maps default to 15 sec weapspawns even in VQ3

chg: finally remembered: server_vstr now defaults to 1
	there's still no justification for them, but...

chg: damagekick is now always off, in VQ3 as well as ProMode
	since id bugs make it unreliable on servers w/high uptime
	cg_damagekick cvar removed

chg: g_powerupRespawn replaced by
	g_powerupRespawnFFA (default: 60)
	g_powerupRespawnTDM (default: 60)  (quadruns > VQ3 RA campout lameness)
	g_powerupRespawnCTF (default: 120)
	batsuit still always 120 in all gametypes

chg: listen servers automatically disable some of the OSP protection
	stops the flickering players problem
	listen servers are just BAD though - nothing like real servers  :(

chg: player teams aren't reset on config exec's unless they have to be
	"callvote exec cpm1a" when in DM would rotate players, which was annoying

chg: first-round warmup for CA now 5 if start_respawn is off
	(was 15 before: now matches other rounds)

fix: re-enable OSP windows (+wstats, motd, etc)

fix: GTV clients are automatically speconly
	stops the "next in line" code of 1v1 arenas putting them in the game

fix: force a userinfo update for spectators when they change arenas

fix: oops - "respawns needed" was propogating to all higher-numbered arenas

fix: DM games can vote refs in

fix: certain types of mover (bs plat on dm14) would keep moving during pauses
	made for some very Wile Coyote moments...  :)

fix: the config parser could fail to apply settings on MA maps

fix: dead players wouldn't respawn for pre-match warmup after CA matches

heh: cg_followkiller has been in the code for months - forgot to doc it  :)


Notes for version 0.99v2

Private build


Notes for version 0.99v1

add: auto-detect Q3 version and filter dm_48 or dm_66 demos accordingly

add: callvote reload and vote_allow_reload

add: s_ambient (0|1, default 1)
	disable ambient sounds like the gongs on q3wcp2 and the
	void/wind/water background noise on a ton of maps
	requires a client-side restart to take effect if you change it

add: cg_hud_drawWeaponSelect (0|1, default 1)
	this used to be hardcoded based on hudstyle

add: server_chatfloodprotect (0|1, default 0)
	command floodprotect uncoupled from chat floodprotect
	sv_floodprotect has to be 0 or Q3 loses auth responses sometimes
	but that means people can chatspam, which is lame
	the related "callvote flood" and "vote_allow_flood" are unchanged

add: callvote warmup (value, default set by g_dowarmup and g_warmup)
	lets each arena have its own warmup setting
	0 disables, otherwise warmup is enabled and the value sets its length
	also add vote_allow_warmup (0|1, default 1)

chg: ProMode skins now available in VQ3 even in team games
	if you're too stupid to get them to work, don't whine to me about it

chg: rail spiral fadeout now Q3 1.29 style (i.e. slower)

chg: no delay when forceswitched from freefloat to follow

chg: splash thru floors no longer an absolute decision: back to 1.17 style

chg: cg_hud_drawWarmup now defaults to 0

chg: warmup panel cleaned up a bit:
	ProMode-only settings (fastrail, cooldown, etc) removed in VQ3 arenas
	Enhanced Sound removed (always on in ProMode, always off in VQ3)
	damage settings for health and armour show as "none/self/team/all"

fix: teamoverlay background off by one line in CA when dead

fix: \vote and \arenavote with no actual vote string in them defaulted to "no"

fix: use the OSP implementation of SpotWouldTelefrag
	Q3 apparently has a bug in trap_EntitiesInBox prior to 1.29h

fix: proper lerping for non-default sv_fps values

fix: in vq3, initial powerup spawns are 45+-(0-15), not 45+(0-15)


Notes for version 0.99v rebuild, about 10 minutes after I released it  :(

fix: Don't send tinfo for dead players in CA


Notes for version 0.99v

With the 99v builds of CPMA and OSP, we've decided to enable several
ProMode enhancements in VQ3 as well. This includes ProMode skins,
team rails, colored crosshairs, custom font sizes, and yes, ProMode HUDs!
ProMode skins will stay disabled in team games for now, since the last
time we tried it they were apparently too complicated for some people.  :)


add: server_CPMA_armor (0|1, default 1)
	use the CPMA armorsystems and auto-select duel/team by the arena type

add: onhand grapple (callvote hook 2)
	when used as a weapon does 25 damage per hit

add: support "teamdamage" in config files and update teamgame cfgs

	1 - health only
	2 - armor only (CA)
	3 - both (TDM)

add: config file for cpm1a to set weaponrespawn to 5

add: log_default (0|1, default 0) - use baseq3 logging rather than OSP-style

add: log_stat (0|1, default 0) - log health/armor changes and their cause
	very handy for CA servers  :)

add: tell players the h+a of whoever just killed them in CA/DA
	(only if there's no speclock active)

add: match_winDelayCA (default 4000)

add: cg_teamRails 2 - changes the format of cg_enemyColors to RHBL
	should have been like this from day one, TBH. wp Rhea  :)

add: cg_crosshairPulse (0|1, default 1)
	crosshair size changes when picking up items

add: cg_hud_drawFollow (0|1|2, default 1)
	where to put the "Following ..." text when speccing
	0 - off, 1 - top, 2 - bottom

add: enabled the ammo parser for config files
	ammo line HAS to be formatted as "MG SG GL RL LG RG PG BFG"
	even if the weapons line disables some

	if you added cfg files for any maps, you need to move them

chg: LG knockback upped from 1.2 to 1.3

chg: shards are +5 in CPMA armorsystems and +2 in the Q2 one

chg: SUI, TK, TD removed from \scores in CA

chg: lateral self-knockback of RL in ProMode now matches "normal" PM RL knockback
	(vertical self-knockback still same as VQ3 so RJ's behave the same)

chg: redid the way player team info and rounds won/lost are handled in CA
	saves a LOT of ClientUserInfoChanged messages, especially at round start/end

chg: match_startrespawn now defaults to 0

chg: scoreboxes not drawn if the limit is 1 (handy for DA)

chg: frags not reset in DA

fix: occasional dups of other clients' events

fix: couldn't reuse a banned client's slot

fix: high-numbered clients not always getting stats sent+logged at end of match

fix: couldn't unlock teams sometimes

fix: target_gives (YA on spawn on T5)

fix: if all gametype entries on an entity are Q3-invalid, discard it

fix: LG "firing" flag cleared if console is down or player is talking

fix: behaviour of missiles when timeouts expire


Notes for version 0.99u3   !!! SPECIAL CLIENT-ONLY BUILD !!!

With the CotT finals being played on 1.27, the 99u2 menus won't show the demos
This pk3 is just to make life easier for people who want to watch the games

add: creepcam (still pretty rough) for specs and demos
	thanks to Mandrake for his work on this

chg: demos menu back to dm_48 files


Notes for version 0.99u2

add: callvote unreferee

add: OSP messages and logging for CTF events

add: updated player settings menu for CPMA colors

add: can use cg_hud_crosshairTeamInfo even if team overlay is off

add: cg_fallKick (ProMode only)

add: +fire can now chain weapons, but is still atomic
	e.g. "+fire 5 3" fires RL if poss, else SG if poss, else nothing

add: callvote teamdamage and vote_allow_teamdamage

add: cg_drawGun 2 (ProMode only) - disables the weapon "sway"

add: cg_altLightning

add: cg_hud_drawSpeed

chg: if a referee votes yes or no, the vote instantly passes or fails
	(that's how OSP does it)
	(with one exception: an unref vote)  :)

chg: fall damage no longer doubled if crouching (ProMode only)

chg: playback of ProMode demos recorded with OSP is more like for CPMA ones
	(timer counts down, variable rocket smoke radius, etc)

chg: be more tolerant of broken TA/Q3 maps like q3wcp1

chg: minimum warmup for matchplay now 5 (used to be 10)

chg: demos menu now shows dm_66 files (the format used by 1.29f)

chg: ProMode cg_smoke* options for RL and GL now available to VQ3 players too

fix: color2 can now use CPMA colors as well

fix: enemycolors not working properly unless enemy head color was 0-9

fix: Aph's ceiling-hanging trick. sorry bro.  :)


Notes for version 0.99u1
(Technically 99u, but is being called 99u1 because so many people
had the 99u beta cgame already that it would be a real hassle)

add: ramp jumps

add: per-arena weaponrespawns in config files

add: match_WinDelayDA (in milliseconds, default 1000)
	controls how long after the kill a winner is actually declared
	so if you rail someone but their rocket takes you out right after,
	the round is ruled a draw

add: cg_railStyle (1-7, bitfields, default 5)
	1 - rail core
	2 - rail spiral (color set by "color2" cvar)
	4 - rail rings
	gg to the Alliance team for making the spiral code public

add: colors 'a' to 'x' for ProMode skins, rails, etc

add: callvote exec for config files (cpma-specific settings ones, not general ones)
	controlled by vote_allow_exec

add: thrufloors and fallingdamage/falldmg supported in config files

add: server_lgcooldown (0|1, default 1) and uncouple it from the fastrail switch
	callvote [lg]cooldown, controlled by vote_allow_lgcooldown (0|1, default 1)
	(it's actually on the MG as well, but no-one seems to care about that)  :)

chg: "callvote items" no longer restarts the arena
	includes weapons/powerups/holdables that a player has

chg: show timer seconds in 1v1 games to specs, demos, and in SD OT

chg: spectators no longer have votes if people are playing

chg: for team games, follow1 is the top scorer on blue and follow2 is the top scorer on red

chg: default CTF weapon respawn now 10 secs (was weaponstay)

chg: faster movement in water, and 4 levels of "depth" instead of q3's 2

fix: pmove weirdness on fast machines - lost events and hitsounds etc
	this was the most significant of the id bugs that pmove 2 fixed
	so they've been consolidated and pmove is back to only 0 or 1

fix: models playing wrong pain noises

fix: most of the EV_STEP stupidity
	should stop it pissing away events, especially when predicting

fix: CTF teamstate properly reset


Notes for version 0.99t

add: w00t! multiview is back  :)

add: "callvote tdm" etc as shorthand for "callvote arenatype tdm"

add: cg_enemyColors [head][body][legs]

add: new ingame UI menu item: "in-game settings"
	lets players call votes without using the console (for RA3 morons)

add: new console command "ui_inGameSettings" will take you straight to that screen
	(a very short comment for a LOT of functionality...
	if you're a referee, all those votes will pass immediately,
	so you essentially have a GUI to control pretty much every server
	setting from)  :)

add: support "instagib 1" in map config files

add: votable powerup times: 60, 90, 120 secs
	set by g_powerupRespawn (default: 90)
	vote controlled by vote_allow_poweruprespawn
	doesn't apply to batsuit, which is always 120
	applies to ALL modes, not just TDM

add: server_ospauth 1 for latest bot-protection

add: "ungrappleable" surfaces (surfaceflags & 0x10000000)

add: "item running" info added to \stats
	number of times you had quad, flag, etc, and how long for

add: lg cooldown @ 200ms, except when fastrail is on

add: q3dm6tmp and q3dm6cpl(1v1) mapcfg files

add: server_record and cg_autoAction for tournaments
	 1 - record demos
	 2 - take screenshots
	 4 - add server name to demo/screenshot filenames
	 8 - add server time when game starts to filenames
	16 - alternate method: server_name-player_name-[count]

add: playback of osp99t demos

add: referee commands, \players, and \scores accepted from console

add: "yell" console-only command: prints in red and sounds klaxon

add: quick fix for q30wnerz

chg: hard armour cap at 200: IOW, no more getting shards when you already have full RA

chg: major optimisation of \stats bw usage

chg: don't dump \scores at end of 1-round DA games

chg: vote_allow_vstr and vote_allow_hook default to 1

chg: players can be telefragged during CA warmup, but will respawn immediately

chg: suicides while flagrunning do NOT return the flag, unlike TA
	I've always thought that was a BS change - it means you can't relay the flag

chg: use the railcore for grapple rather than the LG - MUCH prettier

chg+fix: pickups with cg_predictitems 1 play the pickup sound exactly once,
	but not until the time you REALLY pick up the item
	unfortunately, playing it at the time you APPEAR to have picked up the item
	doesn't work out, because not all pickups are predictable  :(

fix: couldn't ready up/resign/etc in CA while dead

fix: a really HORRIBLE problem with pmove. I think.  :)
	it may actually work properly now. we'll have to see...
	pmove_fixed 1 means use the id code, for compatibility with vq3 weenies
	pmove_fixed 2 means use the new code

fix: demos with spaces in the filename

fix: team chat as a spec in 1v1 games is now spec-only

fix: massive duplication of sounds on item pickup with predictitems 1
	did this ages ago, but the fix got lost at some point

fix: UI client Number now uses the "real" one, not the player that you are following
	(caused problems when ordering bots as a dead CA player)

fix: render the railtrail as close to the xhair as snapping will allow
	for some reason, the baseq3 code does it wrong deliberately. I don't know why.

fix: don't uppercase filenames in the demo menu
	it meant clients with real filesystems couldn't play them back

fix: bots rejoin the game after arena restarts

fix: cg_statScrollTime >0 but <1 still pops up the window

fix: vq3 arenas use the correct dmg beep


Notes for version 0.99s1

	in armorsystem 2 (CPMA Team) - 100 units, 50% protection

add: Q2 armour - callvote armorsystem 3 (I had room for one more)

add: cache enemy models at map load time

add: cg_hud_drawWarmup (0|1, default 1) to control display of arena settings before a game starts

chg: remove some of the TA cruft from userinfo updates

chg: stats reset when going spec in a non-CA game

chg: show time in game on scoreboard for ffa and all team games (except ctf when carrying flag)

chg: copy a followed player's score for "true" spectators

chg: larger scoreboard in non-team games

chg: gamename set back to just "cpma" - q3 seems to have been getting confused by the space on some platforms

chg: cg_pmove_fixed now lets clients disable pmove if the server has it enabled, but not vice-versa

chg: warmup info is removed at 5 secs rather than at match start

chg: allow black in names. it's lame, but i'm tired of the whining...  :)

chg: assorted other bits and pieces of warmup made less intrusive

chg: cg_teamrails default is now 0

chg: no klaxons at the end of DA games

fix: on DM7, the grate and button are now gone in TDM
	(likewise, with CPM14 the "secret" tele's destination changes and the MH is accessible)

add: the latest Abuse TMP maps - q3dm6tmp q3dm7tmp q3dm8tmp q3dm12tmp q3dm14tmp
	use callvote mapcfg to run them

add: CPM skins for ALL standard models  :)


Notes for version 0.309

add: \r_ip for referees (but only those with the ref_password)

chg: W/L in CA replaced with rounds played (yellow) and time (cyan)

chg: remove the unnecessary respawn during warmup before the first round of a match for g_dowarmup 0 games

chg: last attacker and last target only updated when damage is actually caused, not just on a hit

chg: colour the status bar (and highlight the player's team in CA) when following

chg: entertime set only on clientconnect, not clientbegin

fix: sigh. DA rotation got messed up by the follow changes

fix: layout of drawattacker and players remaining stuff on the hud in CA

fix: changing arenas while following meant stats didnt get reset

fix: callvoting to/from promode changes the spawn health, armor decay, and weapon respawn immediately
	for CA and DA, the arena flags and the spawn armor will be reset as well

chg: only worry about "our" spawnflags bits

chg: team ALWAYS set to spec on clientconnect

	(set it to 0 for ra3 players who are used to it being wrong)  :)

add: match_carespawn setting to the warmup hud

add: log winner and final score in console too for team games 

add: CA spawn code will now use team team_CTF_redspawn and team_CTF_bluespawn if available
	so well-designed maps can completely avoid the spawn gangrape issue
	it will fall back to info_player_deathmatch spawns if necessary

add: support config files for MA maps to set default arenatypes, limits, weapons, ammo, etc

chg: make warmup hud text 25% larger

chg: infinite ammo during warmup

fix: allow dead CA players to call votes

fix: "Team Orders" menu now works on MA maps and in CA

fix: player counts on the join team menu are totals in CA, not just living

chg: g_weaponTeamRespawn renamed to g_weaponRespawnTDM

chg: don't kick followspecs back to freefloat immediately if the player dies

chg: clean up the clientinfo parser

chg: bots with RJ characteristic aren't so afraid to use them in CA games

chg: vq3 hud shows status bar too when following

fix: doh! holes in the client list would mean players didn't get respawned in CA


Notes for version 0.304

add: locked arenas are marked in red in the choose arena menu

add: update players wins and losses after each round in DA and CA

chg: no pain sound on crash landings if fall damage is off

Notes for version 0.110

chg: CPM SG knockback of 1.35 reinstated


Notes for version 0.109
WARNING!!! this build is basically just a bunch of tweaks to try stuff with:

chg: SSG_DMG dropped from 7 to 6. So max SG dmg per shot is now 96 rather than the 110 of vq3 and 112 of v1

chg: while i was in there, i fixed that bs with client drawing the wrong pattern for sg
	which led to you sometimes seeing blood even if you missed
	or not seeing it but hearing the hit tone.
	this change is for the vq3 code as well, currently
	but can be broken again if ppl really want that.
	since it's a definite bug, i figured it was okay.  :P

chg: just for yuks, i implemented the armour changes i mentioned in the forum (it was only 2 lines) so the deal is:
	YA==75 with 150 stack
	RA==100 with 200 stack
RA/YA breakpoint and conversion factors stay as is (except that there's now an
inverted conv as well if you have some YA when you pick up RA, obviously)
since we won't change prot% or YA max, and armour still doesn't count down.
note: since i'm just messing around, these values are the same for tdm too,
which they wouldn't be even if we did change the scheme for 1v1.


Notes for version 0.108 (note: version numbering scheme changed)  ;)

add: very rough CPM-style warmupinfo

add: support for # expansions in chat
	e.g. "say_team i just railed #t" will show up as "i just railed a|rhea"
	i *don't* have the cpm set (health, armour, low ammo, etc) for tdm in there since i can't find the code...

add: promode smoke control for SG (cg_smoke_sg)

chg: CPM z-knockback of 40 replaced with VQ3 z-knockback of 24
chg: CPM SG knockback of 1.35 replaced with VQ3 SG knockback of 1.0
chg: CPM LG knockback changed from 1.55 to 1.2
(i.e. RL and LG are now 1.2; gauntlet and PG are 0.5; other weaps are 1.0 (same as VQ3))

chg: thrufloors now does 100% dmg instead of 50% - gonna leave it for the design team to worry about  :)

chg: cg_drawtimer 1 now shows arena clock instead of world clock; 2 shows both clocks

fix: when followspec-ing, shaft now drawn and dmg tones played

fix: promode means promode gfx; vq3 means vq3 gfx


Notes for version 1217

add: splash through floors. this is NOT the same as the 1.17 splash bug
	it makes an ABSOLUTE decision on splash through thin surfaces,
	so it's a lot more consistent than the bug version was.
	also, damage through floors is HALF what it would be for open splash at the same distance.

bug: i've had to force duel arena to roundlimit of 1 - it's too problematic right now otherwise.
	i'll fix it after the hols. dm is still fine.

fix: fraglimit warnings will play properly each game

fix: team chg msgs only sent to current arena

fix: info for team overlay only sent for current arena

fix: id bug - you can now play 1.27 demos back through the ui  :)

fix: arena votes work again

note: you may get "fake" PJ sometimes as a spec - pressing fire should clear it


Notes for version 1216

chg: \matchinfo cmd renamed to \scores to match osp

fix: w00t! sound-dropping code reintroduced by 1.27 merge replaced AGAIN with osp code.
	now i can use lg again.  :)

fix: swap quadshell colour too if swapskins set

add: promode smoke control vars for rox+pills

chg: promode hit-tones now disabled for non-promode arenas


Notes for version 1215

?fix: found old code in spec set for arena chg (c+p from wrong dir - gg me) - should fix the false PJ

?fix: zombie winners in 1v1 games left over when next match started

fix: clients showing scores/warmupinfo/scoreboard etc from wrong arena

fix: speclock not kicking specs from players if they were already following before the lock

add: cg_teamRails flag  :)


Notes for version 1214

first 1.27 release


----


"WONTFIX" issues
These are problems that we've essentially written off.
Hopefully they will never be anything other than few and minor.

The doors in the original Abuse Q3DM12TMP are always closed.
This is basically a problem with the map itself.
The mapcfg version that comes with CPMA (callvote map !q3dm12tmp)
works fine, and also saves clients having to DL the 30MB TMP pak.

Callvoting items in CTF duplicates flags if they aren't at the base.
So don't do it.  :)
